What a girl wants

How does Rihanna stay hydrated? Coconut water. She’s teamed up with Vita Coco to help create Tropical Fruit, the seventh flavor in the VC portfolio. Ingredients include mouthwatering pink guava, orange, red dragon fruit and pineapple. “I grew up in Barbados – so when Vita Coco approached me to help develop a new flavor, I thought we should combine the natural coconut water with fresh tropical fruits – two of my favorite things,” says Rihanna. “It reminds me of home.” Vita Coco Tropical Fruit comes in a bright magenta TetraPak featuring Ri’s signature. Need a boost? It’s all about the electrolytes. This drink contains 15 times the potassium of a traditional sports drink, and 100 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C. So you’ve got functionality with no fat, no cholesterol and less sugar than an apple. On Amazon.com and at retailers nationwide in a 17 fl. oz./500 ml serving size at $2.79 SRP.
